THE daughters of Manchester bombing victim Jane Tweddle-Taylor have found the policewoman who comforted their dying mother after the horrific attack.

Harriet and Isabelle Taylor appeared on Lorraine this morning as they paid tribute to their mum as part of the show’s Woman of the Year series, and were surprised to be given a message from the heroic cop.

Jane had been waiting to collect her children, who had been at the concert

The ITV show had tracked down Jessica Bullough from the British Transport Police – who was with Jane as she lay injured.

Jane was killed in a suicide bombing at the hands of Salman Abedi – who detonated the weapon during an Ariana Grande concert at Manchester Arena on May 22.

Dozens of people were injured in the devastating blast, and 22 were killed – the youngest was Saffie Roussos.

Speaking on Lorraine today, Harriet and Isabelle said it had been hard thinking that their mum was alone.

They added: “And then we found out there was a young policewoman there and it gave us comfort that she wasn’t alone.”

The police officer had sent the sisters a letter, which Lorraine read out: “To Harriet, Lily and Isabelle, I want to start by saying that I can’t imagine what you girls have been going through for the past few months since the loss of your mum.
